Dr Charles Sullivan who had recently retired from the Practice after more than 40 years as a GP in the town performed the ceremony.

The Centre provides up-to-date facilities in modern health care and pledges to offer an increased and improved service to its 10,600 patients.

It is situated at Ballycolman Avenue and houses the training practice of Dr James Gillespie, Dr Martin O'Neill,  Dr Diane Robinson, Dr Brian Gallagher and Dr Heather Smyth.

The Practice decided to move to new premises due to lack of space at Strabane Health Centre, where it had been since 1979. The new Centre has been built on a site originally occupied by the old Bridgend Primary School.
